Ok the oceans in Minecraft are at least a few thousand blocks wide why not add some mobs i would love it if this idea was implemented (other than squid also dont say "there's a mod for that").
Shark:
Ok so lets say there's some noob swimming in the deep water fins come, up noob goes, down the culprit would be a Shark, the Shark attacks would be very organized they would be circling for a while then they attack (boat or not) they drag the victim under and tear them to shreds (or wait until they drown) theres many variety's of sharks some different color or shape the largest would be a great white shark (greyish skin colour) and the rest is up to you, attacks doe 3 hearts damage, has 10 hearts health, water turns red when they kill, drops shark teeth and shark meat and shark skin and sometimes a divers helmet, (will not attack giant squids, whales or krakens)
Barracuda:
A large fish that will attack ANYTHING swimming in the water player or not, they will attack when mob or player is in range they will rip them apart they can be caught with fishing rods will not attack sharks, giant squids, or whales, or even the kraken, 5 hearts health, water turns red when they kill, 2 hearts damage , drops barracuda teeth and raw fish, same pull under technique as sharks except the other barracuda will attack whats being pulled under, hunts in packs of 4 or 10
Whales
Large neutral creatures that live fairly deep underwater and in frozen seas can break ice and needs to surface every now and again can also send boats flying into the air, has 40 hearts health, 5 hearts damage (capsizing boat), drops whale meat, blubber, whale skins, (Y U DO DIS! :angry.gif: ) often lives in pods of up to 6 largest whale drops most things attacks giant squids (but not krakens)
Dolphins:
Small passive creatures that live in shallow water or rivers will follow the player when in water if you throw a item in they will pick it up with their mouth and put it on the ground if you feed them fish they will be tamed, 6 hearts health, drops dolphin meat (Y U DO DIS!!!!!!! :angry.gif: ), there is 2 variants ocean dolphins are blueish grey and river dolphins are pinkish white
Giant Squid:
A large neutral squid that lives very very deep underwater if attacked they will attack whatever attacked them it will flee and spray ink after a while, 20 hearts health, 5 hearts damage, drops ink sacks and squid meat (can be cooked into calimari :tongue.gif:)
Kraken:
A large octopus that attacks the player if summoned with the squid summoner (like a worm summoner from one of my other ideas put squid meat and ink sacks in it) at first it attacks with its tentacles once you defeat those it will surface and starts trying to grab you with its tentacles if it succeeds it will throw you into the water the only way to kill it is to attack its head and eyes if the eyes are taken out than you can kill it without being harmed (you may need a bow), has 150 hearts health, kills nearly instantly unless wearing aqua armour, drops 5 diamonds, kraken eye, and 8 kraken tentacle fragments (used in alchemy perhaps???)
Octopus
Medium sized neutral mob it sits peacefully on a block until attacked when attacked it will attack back when its health gets too low it will make an ink cloud and swim away like a squid, 6 hearts health, 2.5 hearts damage, drops ink sacs and squid meat (not that its a squid)
Blocks:
Aqua ore:
Found commonly near the coastlines and underwater can be used to make tools and armour (need obsidian to make armour), must be mined with a stone pickaxe or higher, when mined it drops an aqua gem
Squid summoner:
Scared of sharks and barracudas when hunting for squids??? then this is for you! just kill a normal squid get the ink sacks and right click on this and put it in one of the slots and then the squid-like mobs should come to you (WARNING: do not put raw squid meat and ink sacks in this it will call a kraken)
Kraken eye:
A block that is rewarded to a player for defeating the kraken can be placed in their house as a trophy
Items:
Aqua pickaxe:
Made from aqua gems and sticks mines nearly as fast as diamond, durability is between that of iron and diamond
Aqua hoe:
Nothing really special about this.... except its made of aqua gems...., durability is between iron and diamond
Aqua shovel:
digs nearly as fast as diamond, made of aqua gems and sticks, durability is between iron and diamond
Aqua axe:
chops nearly as fast as diamond, made of aqua gems and sticks, durability is between iron and diamond
Aqua sword:
is the only melee weapon that can kill the kraken, made of an aqua gem a peice of obsidian and a stick, does ten hearts damage
Aqua bow:
is the only ranged weapon that can kill the kraken fires Aqua arrows, made of aqua gems and string (put the aqua gems where the stick would be), no durability like the normal bow
Aqua arrow:
must be used with an aqua bow to kill the kraken, made of aqua gems and sticks and a feather (aqua gem goes were flint normally is), does ten hearts damage
Kraken tentacle fragment:
Can be placed as a trophy if this was implemented and you were on SMP this would bring respect to a player with these in their house
Harpoon:
A weapon used for hunting ocean based mobs its quite simple to use right click to fire and right click again to reel it in slowly, then you can kill the mob with a sword
Vehicles:
Harpooning boat:
crafted with 5 iron ingots in a boat shape and a harpoon on top to use harpoons on boat aim and press G to reel it in press G again
Fishing boat:
crafted with 5 wood planks and a fishing rod on top, to use fishing rod press G like in a harpooning boat also has a bait box which can be opened by pressing C put bait on and you have a higher chance of catching fish
its cool i like the whale idea and the giant squid but rest notch would not do and it would over do it a bit much but who knows anyways good suggestion
Mob list:
Shark
Barracuda
Whales???
Dolphins
Giant Squid
Kraken
Octopus
